Masters Prediction

Looks like PGA is cancelled, including this weekend’s Players Championship. There’s a possibility the Masters could go on without fans, though some golfers may be stuck overseas. Nope – it was postponed. You heard it here first: Augusta National will figure out a way to squeeze in the tourney later this year. Ceil’s school is closed until the end of March.

 

A few Memphis Grizzlies pictures, including centercourt.

Monday evening our host gave us a tour of the facilities,

including the arena.

The practice court is right next door.

Fans can look out on it from the mezzanine.

The Grizz Gaming NBA 2K League e-sports team's practice facility is located in the building with the team offices. 

Before the game we got to go down

and watch warmups from the courtside seats.

 

 

For the occasion I wore my official Grizzlies Stance team socks.

Chad happened to be in town on game day.

Thursday: even though I ate a lot on my trip it didn’t hit me hard when I got on the scales. Stopped by Kroger on the way to work. QT hot dog for lunch. Super busy catching up at work.

 

Busy Thursday. Left at 530. Stopped by a Kroger and it was packed. No bath tissue so I left. This morning I stopped by Stinky Kroger and instead of the usual 2 or 3 cars there are at least twenty. Grabbed the largest pack of bath tissue. Last night W&MC went to Kroger at 11 pm. Lines were super long. Was well after midnight before they were able to check out.  

Ceil cooked spaghetti. Also broccoli. I put the broccoli on top of the noodles, then put the meat sauce on top of both. Took me 60 years to figure that out. Watched New Amsterdam, Carol’s Second Act, and some news.   

 

Church: we can watch a service on line. Guess that’s what we’ll do. I can work from home but its not as efficient and I really don’t have a good setup. Beats death.

 

Atlanta Magazine interviewed Taqueria Cheshire Bridge owner George, who’s chairman of deacon at SPdL.

NELLIE FOX  [SABR Bio] won the first Gold Glove ever given to a second baseman - Gold Gloves first awarded in 1957 and Rawlings did not yet award GGs in each league.  Fox was the overall ML honoree at 2B. He and his double-play partner were the first such duo to win Gold Gloves in the same season. in 1959 and 1960 Fox and SS Luis Aparicio each won a GG as the best fielder at the in the middle of the infield. He had more hits than any other American League batter 1950 through 1959. Fox had 1,837 H, all for CHW; Ashburn 1,875 for PHI. He once hit a bloop double whose trajectory was aided by the fact that the ball struck his own glove in shallow center field. Freak 2B on 04-Aug- 1950. https://www.retrosheet.org/strange.htm
